Amid Russia war on Ukraine, BillClinton relaunching Clinton Global Initiative
announced Friday that the Clinton Global Initiative is resuming full operations after largely shuttering in early 2017.
The CGI faced scrutiny during former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign for its significant international donations – which some said could create conflicts of interest. Clinton lost the 2016 election, but the Clintons still followed through on mass layoffs of their foundation's employees in January 2017.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton speaks during a press conference ahead of the screening of a movie "Hillary" within the 70th International Berlinale film festival in Berlin, Germany on Feb. 25, 2020.Clinton and his spokesperson Angel Ureña also cited"inequality" and a growing refugee crisis as reasons for restarting the initiative.
"While the challenges our world faces today are steep, CGI has always been about what we can do, not what we can’t do," he added."And by bringing diverse partners together to take action and achieve real results, we can create a culture of possibility in a world hungry for hope."
